As much as I like the idea of miniPCs my biggest issue is that almost everything in miniPCs are soldered down, if you could replace the RAM/CPU/Storage I'd have zero with them. But for now, I'm skeptical in that the current push for miniPCs are a clandestine way to get more technical people onboard with unrepairable devices.
Worth noting the AMD APUs dont have ram soldered on a board cannot be replaced even with soldering. The ram is inside the chip and is shared between the cpu/gpu.
Huh, I paid $270 for a Minisforum UM350 w/ 16GB, 500GB. The RAM was replaceable and last year I upgraded it to 32GB. I swapped out the included M.2 for a 1TB, and then added a second 1TB M.2. All fully supported as-is.
